The bearers of any decency involving My Lai appear to have been chopper pilot High Thompson (en.wikipedia.org) and the two men in his crew, who threatened to blast GIs engaged in the My Lai Massacre. Of course, they were vilified before it became necessary to admit that, actually, they did "the right thing" that awful day.
Sidney Blumenthal writes:
That day, 18 June, Israel Hayom, the rightwing newspaper that is a mouthpiece for prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and is published by Miriam Adelson, who gave more than $100m to the 2024 Trump campaign, ran a lead editorial addressed to Trump: "Mr. President, you have gravely harmed the human interests of the enlightened world, and you may be remembered forever as the president who brought about America's humiliation. You betrayed us, the Israelis. And in a single moment, the contempt you once faced suddenly seems so justified and logical." Netanyahu, who delivered his fate into Trump's hands, forgot that Trump abandoned even his mentor, the mob lawyer Roy Cohn, in the end. [Emphasis added]
